Chapter 289 Makeup Box
Seeing this, Shen Jia somewhat admired Concubine Lin. She was worthy of being the master of the harem who had been in charge of the harem for more than ten years. Her calmness and responsiveness in times of crisis were commendable.

After hearing the news, Concubine Shu and others hid outside to watch. They were all curious about what mistake Lin Guifei made that made the emperor come to arrest her in person?

"Concubine Lin, fourteen years ago you sent the current Eunuch Huang of Shang Yiku to poison Prince Zhaoming. In October of the year before last, you sent Si Zhifang Dong Si Zhi to poison my clothes and embroidery thread. The evidence is conclusive. Do you admit it or not?"

"I have never done these things, I don't admit it!" Lin Guifei held her neck and looked plausibly.

Only her clenched fists betrayed her restless heart.

"Come here, bring three witnesses." The emperor gave her a cold look.

Long Wei brought in Eunuch Huang, Cui Shanggong and Dong Sizhi.

The three of them knelt down as soon as they entered the courtyard.

"Your Majesty, please spare my life. It was Concubine Lin who asked the slave to poison Prince Zhaoming."

"Your Majesty, have mercy on me. Concubine Lin used my family to threaten me to poison the embroidery thread of your clothes."

Concubine Lin glanced at them bitterly, wanting to step forward and tear their mouths apart.

Which of these three bitches has not been favored by her, and now they betray her without hesitation. If she can survive this difficulty, she must cut them into pieces to vent her hatred.

Concubine Lin's mind was spinning a thousand times, but she didn't show it on her face. She knelt down calmly and said, "They are slandering me. Please, Your Majesty, find out the truth and clear me out. Don't make people feel cold."

Eunuch Huang and Director Dong were panicked and hurriedly defended themselves.

"No, I didn't slander Concubine Lin. It was her who personally handed the poison to the slave and asked him to put the poison in Prince Zhaoming's tonic soup..."

"My slave did not slander Concubine Lin. She asked her to sprinkle poison into the water and soak the embroidery thread in the water..."

The emperor waved his hand to indicate that they didn't need to say anything.

"Concubine Lin, I ask you one more thing, do you recognize her or not?" The emperor asked in a cold voice, his eyes bottomless.

Concubine Lin raised her head and looked at the emperor, tears falling from the corners of her eyes, both for the mistakes she had made over the years and for her unknown fate.

"If I don't admit it, is the emperor going to give in? Is it possible that in order to pave the way for the emperor's grandson, the emperor wants to frame the concubine, and then frame the loyal ministers and good generals..."

'Papapapa' Shen Jia clapped her hands, "Concubine Lin, you are really too talented not to act. Your ability to confuse right and wrong is unmatched. You don't think we only have these few witnesses, do you? Poison! Is the king still in our hands? Also, your bedroom has not been searched yet. I wonder if I, the princess, will find anything good if I go in and search?"

Concubine Lin was already upset when she heard that the Poison King was in their hands, but she was still stubborn and refused to admit the poisoning: "I don't know what Poison King is, so don't talk nonsense..."

"Grandpa Huang, there's no need to talk nonsense to her. Let me lead people in to search!" Shen Jia suggested.

The emperor's eyes darkened, and he pointed at Concubine Shu and Xian Concubine and others behind him, "You go in and watch Princess Protector search. Don't find the poison when the time comes. Concubine Lin says she was framed."

The concubines were delighted and hurriedly responded: "Yes."

Concubine Lin's heart tightened, and her face turned pale. She kept comforting herself: the place where the poison was hidden was so secret that Princess Protector could not find it.

In fact, Shen Jia didn't know whether poison could be found in Concubine Lin's bedroom. She was already prepared to confuse the fake with the real, which was a real frame-up. But she still searched carefully.

Concubine Lin's bedroom is very large, and it is not easy to search it.

Shen Jia shook out her clothes one by one and threw them into a pile, followed by pillows and quilts on the bed.

Vases, calligraphy and paintings, cabinets, drawers, every corner was searched, and I even crawled under the bed and looked through it.

The palace concubine next to her was dumbfounded. Is this the princess who protects the country, the quasi grandson, and the future mother of the country? Why are you jumping around like a monkey, without the slightest bit of dignity and elegance of a noble lady from an aristocratic family?

Shen Jia didn't care what they thought. After searching and failing to find the poison, he thought of giving Concubine Lin a surprise.

The corner of his eye fell on a luxurious and exquisite makeup box locked with a copper lock on the dressing table.

There was only one makeup box left that had not been searched. She would rather kill the wrong person than let it go. Shen Jia decisively took off the hairpin from her head and opened the copper lock.

When the concubines saw this, they couldn't help but twitch their mouths. They even didn't let go of Concubine Lin's makeup box. Princess Protector must be a bandit.

Shen Jia had no intention of listening to her heart, otherwise she would have spoken sweetly to them: This princess is here to check for evidence, do you understand the evidence? If you don’t understand, don’t wow!

This makeup box has two layers. Shen Jia took out the jewelry in the box one by one.

One-color palace makeup, thousand-leaf gold peony jewelry, exquisite emerald inlaid silver hairpin, silk hairpin, jasper seven-treasure exquisite hairpin, cloisonné red coral earrings, red emerald drop bead earrings, engraved gold rhombus inlaid with jade grain armor, gold Silk inlaid with rubies, double luan dots, fine mutton fat white jade bracelets, gold and jade inlaid jewelry bracelets... and other jewelry are all dazzling.

Then he took the empty box and studied it carefully.

Seeing this, Concubine Xian covered her mouth and chuckled: "Princess Protector, I have taken out all the jewelry in this makeup box. It is just an empty box. What is there to see? Is it possible that you have never seen a makeup box?"

Concubine Xian also remembered that Du Kangquan had become the new Duke Ping, and that her son would not be able to fight with the others without the support of Duke Ping's palace, causing her to lose the opportunity to be the most noble woman in the world.

Du Kangquan is from Shen Jia, so this matter must have something to do with her. She is a concubine in the palace and cannot cause trouble for Du Kangquan. Now that she sees the culprit, she has to say a few words to vent her anger and enjoy her life!

Shen Jia glanced at her lightly, his eyes were dark and unpredictable, which made Concubine Xian feel inexplicably scared and she couldn't help but take a few steps back.

Concubine De and Concubine Xiang silently moved a few steps to the side, away from Concubine Xian.

Concubine Shu's lips curled up slightly. This idiot actually dared to blatantly cause trouble to Princess Protector. Is he tired of living?
Shen Jia didn't have time to watch the eyebrows and lawsuits of several palace concubines. She was concentrating on studying the makeup box in front of her.

She turned over and over several times but couldn't find any mechanism. She felt that she might have thought wrongly and that the box had no mechanism at all.

Shen Jia was a little disappointed. The real evidence was different from the fabricated evidence. Although Concubine Lin really sent someone to poison her, she still felt guilty.

Sighing secretly, Shen Jia kindly put the jewelry back one by one, then closed it and prepared to lock it.

Suddenly, her hand holding the copper lock paused because she smelled a faint fragrance coming out of the box.

This is the scent of poison, and the poison is in the box.

Shen Jia was so pleasantly surprised that she opened the box again.
